Flying taxis are officially known as electric vertical takeoff and landing vehicles, or eVTOLs. The idea is that 10 to 20-minute flights can make commutes easier compared to driving a car. Unlike helicopters, which face numerous restrictions due to their noise, the fact that eVTOLs are electric means they're much quieter. The company has previously said it expects a seat on board to cost about the same as an Uber Black, or around $150.
